A titanium post takes over the job your natural tooth root used to do — holding a crown that looks, feels and chews like the real thing, without touching the teeth beside it.
Every implant case here starts with a 3D scan of your jaw — it shows us bone density, nerve position and the exact angle an implant needs to sit at, before we ever pick up a drill. That planning step is what keeps the painless-implant protocol painless: less exploratory drilling, fewer surprises mid-procedure, and a crown that fits the bite you actually have.
Depending on how much bone is available, a case can move straight from scan to placement, or may need a bone graft first. Either way, you'll see the plan on screen before deciding.
We image the jaw and talk through what a single-tooth or full-arch plan would involve.
The titanium post is placed under local anaesthesia, laser-assisted where useful.
8–16 weeks for the implant to fuse with the bone (osseointegration), checked along the way.
A custom crown is fitted and adjusted to your bite in the final visit.
Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone are candidates, whether replacing one tooth or several. Implants are especially worth considering if you're missing a tooth and don't want to grind down the healthy teeth beside it for a bridge, or if a loose denture has become more frustrating than functional.
Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and low bone density can complicate healing — none of these rule an implant out automatically, but they're exactly what the consultation and scan are for.
| Typical timeline | 8–16 weeks, scan to final crown |
| Visits | 3–5, spaced through healing |
| Downtime | 2–4 days of mild swelling |
| Anaesthesia | Local, laser-assisted where useful |
